| (57) A system includes an engine case (102) for a gas turbine engine defined around a
longitudinal axis. A plurality of access openings are defined through the engine case
(102). A combustor (108) is housed in the space inside the engine case (102). The
inner annular wall (110) of the combustor (108) includes a first rail on an upstream
end thereof with a radially outward opening slot. The outer annular wall (112) of
the combustor (108) includes a second rail on an upstream end thereof. A plurality
of circumferentially spaced apart dome liners extending from the first rail to the
second rail. Each dome liner extends tangentially in a direction oblique relative
to a radius extending from the longitudinal axis. A plurality of multipoint fuel injector
